keithh999 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 anyone have any ideas as to what steel forklift forks are made of....im guessing its better than 1045 due to its toughness and springiness....would love to know as i have some spare ones sitting at the shop just begging me to do something with them:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
